Capture a dramatic turning point in European history with this sumptuous oil on panel depicting the abdication of Emperor Charles V in Brussels. Richly detailed and teeming with allegory, the scene centers on Charles V on his throne flanked by Ferdinand I and Philip II, while personified provinces kneel and the continents—America, Africa, Europe and Asia—offer gifts. On the left Neptune rides a triumphal chariot drawn by sea-horses amid tritons and mermaids, topped by a globe and the two columns bearing the “Plus Ultra” banner. Painted c. 1635–1640 by Frans Francken II, this work is an extraordinary conversation piece for a study or formal interior.
